    I'm going to talk about some serious stuff here so move along if you were trying to keep things light today.

    Scott Hutchinson from Frightened Rabbit died by suicide in 2018. Throughout his music Scott often talked about anxiety and depression and suicide. I highly recommend Frightened Rabbits 2008 album The Midnight Organ Fight. I want to link every song from that album but I'll limit it to just 3.

    The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit

    In this song he compares anxiety and depression to leprosy and asks the question to his significant other why would you love a modern leper? Are you a masochist?

    Scott often said that he openly wrote and sang about his illness hoping that it would help someone else.

    Head Rolls Off - Frightened Rabbit

    In this song you'll hear the lyrics "when my blood stops someone else's will not" and "while I'm alive I'll make tiny changes to Earth" indicating his desire to help others by sharing his feelings and his pain.

    Floating in the Forth - Frightened Rabbit

    In this song you'll hear him ask the question "is there peace beneath the roar of the Forth road bridge?" and then make the somewhat hopeful statement "I think I'll save suicide for another year."

    His body was found near the shores beneath the Forth road bridge near Edinburgh. Making this song so much more powerful knowing that he predetermined his death more than 10 years in advance and those thoughts were constantly with him.

    Breadcrumb Trail - Slint

    Slint's 1991 album Spiderland is one of my favorite albums ever. They haven't done anything since and I have no idea what those guys are up to but I'd definitely be intrigued if they popped up again

    I only listened to a few songs but I like what I hear so far! I'll listen to more later. A couple of questions first...

    What song(s) are you most proud of?

    Did you make your own album art? It's really cool.

    When I was a kid my sister bet me that I couldn't memorize all the lyrics to this song... I proved her wrong! And I still remember most of it!

    It was actually their 2013 tour when I saw them. So two years after this video. I was thinking it was earlier than that. I saw them at a small venue called Akron Musica in Akron, Ohio, USA.

    [Fresh Album] The Armed - Perfect Saviors

    New album by The Armed. This has more of a rock sound then their previous works which had this interesting blend of hardcore and noise pop. Honestly I didn't love their previous works that much but they were always unique so I wanted to check this out. Although it's not as unique I'm finding myself really enjoying this. It just sounds very well put together if that makes any sense. Song whip below! https://songwhip.com/the-armed/perfect-saviors

    There's so much I want to mention but I've managed to narrow it down to a few things.

    My dad is a big fan of Yes so here's a track that I heard a lot when I was a kid and still love today.

    Roundabout - Yes

    As an adult I've made some effort to dig into the stuff I missed out on from previous decades. I recently "discovered" Lou Reed and love everything he's done.

    Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed

    And finally I want to bring up Brian Eno's contributions to ambient music. No specific track but I love his albums Another Green World and Music for Airports.

    I think you're right about them falling off around 97 or so. But I think American Idiot in 2004 was considered a comeback for them. Sure they became more mainstream with some of those singles but like said in the daily challenge thread I was 12 and they were awesome to me at the time.

    So I was born in 92 and some of my early music exposure was the 90s alternative and pop music my older sisters were into. One CD that my sister would play a lot was Everclear's So Much For the Afterglow. I always liked the title track because of the choral intro transition into the punk sound.

    So Much for the Afterglow - Everclear

    And then I was 12 when Green Day's American Idiot came out so I was really into that for a while. My favorite track being the 9 minute epic Jesus of Suburbia.

    Another record released today that I'm enjoying. This is Margaret Glaspy's third album but the first I've heard from her. I'd describe it as bluesy alternative. Great vocals and lyrics.

    [Fresh Album] Naked Lungs - Doomscroll

    I'm enjoying this debut album from Irish group Naked Lungs. It's like a darker doomier Fontaines DC. https://songwhip.com/nakedlungs/doomscroll

    [discussion] The Nice Guys (2016)

    I put this on the other day not really knowing what it was and I loved every second of it. ::: spoiler spoiler The 1970s Los Angeles vibe was perfect. The plot was unpredictable and chaotic but it made sense from the point of view of the main characters. Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe, and the teenage girl were all excellent together. There were so many intricately set up punchlines through out the movie. I had no idea Ryan Gosling could be so funny. One of my favorite lines was probably when March (Gosling) was interacting with his daughters friend Janet. Janet: "You took the Lords name in vain!" March: "No I didn't Janet. I found it very useful actually. OK, Janet?" Also the whole set up and pay off with the dream sequence and Healy's (Crowe) ankle gun was hilarious. ::: What are your thoughts on this movie? Do you recommend any more movies like this?

    [Fresh Album] Mikaela Davis - And Southern Star

    The harp is an underutilized instrument in my opinion. Here's some "Harp Rock" from singer/harpist Mikaela Davis. https://songwhip.com/mikaela-davis/and-southern-star

    [Fresh Album] Rin McArdle - Rin McArdle

    I'm really liking this debut by Australia's Rin McArdle. This actually came out last week but I'm calling it fresh anyways. She's friends with Courtney Barnett so you know it'll be good. Songwhip link and an NME article about her below. https://songwhip.com/rinmcardle/rin-mcardle https://www.nme.com/en_au/features/music-features/rin-mcardle-interview-3475992

    I was reminded of this by the Smoko post. However this cover showcases Genesis Owusu more than it does The Chats. Enjoy!

    Ball Park Music - It's Nice To Be Alive (Official Video) www.youtube.com

    The San Cisco post reminded me of another Aussie indie pop act that I first heard around the same time. This is the first Ball Park Music song I ever heard but they actually have a lot of good stuff in my opinion.

    [FRESH ALBUM] Oscar Lang - Look Now

    https://songwhip.com/oscarlang/look-now Here's a release from last Friday that I really enjoyed. It's the 2nd album by Oscar Lang out of the UK. Some personal lyrics mixed with some indie pop sounds. A little bit psychedelic at times. Some cool orchestral stuff too. Check it out!

    [Fresh] Allegra Krieger - I Keep My Feet on the Fragile Plane

    https://songwhip.com/allegrakrieger/i-keep-my-feet-on-the-fragile-plane https://allegrakrieger.bandcamp.com/album/i-keep-my-feet-on-the-fragile-plane Allegra Krieger’s fourth record and her first with Double Double Whammy – is her most mature and alluring work yet. It contains all the signatures of her best lyricism: delicate and precise phrasings, moments that flicker between beauty and banality, meaning that forms through the accretion of observations, memories, and unexpected adages...

    Ima Robot - A is for Action (2003)

    https://open.spotify.com/track/6UGuXL9TXi49etfPpr38R9?si=LnLyLBaSQ7ynVzLQx_188g Before being known as the lead singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Alex Ebert was the singer is dance-punk group Ima Robot. Definitely check it out if you only have heard Edward Sharpe. It was a bit of a shock for me when I learned Ebert was the singer for both groups. This song in particular is very fun and energetic and for me it's nostalgic since it was on the soundtrack of 2003 snowboarding video game SSX 3.

    Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022)

    I really enjoyed this. The style is very much "del toro" and the stop motion animations were excellent. One of the best stop motion animated movies I've seen. What are your thoughts on this movie if you've seen it? What is your favorite stop motion animated movie?
